Annotation The paper presents the characteristics of teenagers’ health and the risk factors that undermined it in the period from 1991 to 2010 (on the example of the Irkutsk Region). Among teenagers aged 15–17, diseases of the endocrine system increased 10 times, infectious and parasitic diseases – 2.8 times, pathology of the genitourinary system – 6.3 times, diseases of the digestive system – 3.4 times. There was a rapid growth in sexually transmitted diseases, abortions among teenage girls and drug addiction. A very high mortality rate among boys and girls aged 15–20 years is due to suicides and violent causes. Health problems of young people are mainly due to deviant and self-destructive behaviors, problems with socialization of these contingents and highly aggressive social environment.
Key words teenagers, health problems, risk factors.
